Things got out of hand real fast!! Really appreciate the easy mode.

Had to restart once because I just didn't understand what I was doing and ran out of lil guys. The second time I was able to make a pretty tall tower but I was still pretty far from defying god. I didn't quite understand how the colors factored into everything and how I should be adjusting staffing based on that. I had fun, though! Loved the music.

Anyone who found it too difficult on their first playthru: you can press backspace to activate easy mode where the workers have a higher tolerance for fatigue, hunger, etc.

Creative idea.  Was a bit hard for me to realize I couldn't  furnish a room until its structure was fully there.

It wasn't an action-packed thrill seeking game, but it was interesting and meditative.  I liked god and its cranky rainbow hair in heaven.

Just like how the characters don’t understand each other, I also don’t understand what all the little pictograms are. Watching them walk around is great though. Such omniscience… am I God?

Thanks. I added a note to the game description indicating the meaning of each of the status icons, but after the jam ends I think I will go back and add hover tooltips.
